3 Free Software To Bulk Convert Excel To CSV

Microsoft Excel is by far the most popular spreadsheet application used to store tabular data. While this data is stored in Excel files (.xls or .xlsx), it is generally being exported to .cvs format (comma separated values) for transmission purposes. CSV is an ideal format for the exchange of tabular data since it expresses it in form of textual data using delimiters, which are supported by various spreadsheet applications, or can easily be opened within simple text editors.

Excel files can easily be converted to CSV format within Microsoft Excel by using the “Save As” option. However, if you have more that one Excel file to be converted to CSV format, you would need some good third party software that can convert multiple Excel files to CSV format in one go. So here we are, with 3 free batch Excel to CSV converter tools, which can do the task for you. Have a look and give them a try.
